Easter is almost here, and so are the Easter bunnies at the Willowbrook Shopping Centre. The local mall created yoga sessions with real-life bunnies from an animal welfare charity.

The two-week-long celebrations will start on April 1, and yoga sessions are planned for April 9. Through the campaign called Bunny Love, the local shopping centre, has partnered with the Small Animal Rescue Society of BC (SARSBC) to raise awareness and money for the benefit of rescue animals.

Tickets for the yoga sessions cost $10, and 100 per cent of the proceeds will be donated to SARSBC. Canadian lifestyle company Lululemon is also part of the campaign and will provide some yoga swag to the guests visiting. Aishwarya Singh, the marketing coordinator at the Willowbrook Shopping Centre, shared that all of the yoga sessions were completely booked within 12 hours of launching the campaign.

鈥淚t is so popular within the community,鈥� she commented.

The event is back in person for the first time since 2019, after having to be offered virtually in the previous two years due to COVID.

Whether the bunnies will be released to hop around or kept separately from the crowd is yet to be decided. Singh said that the safety of the bunnies would be a key factor in making the decision.

鈥淚f it will too noisy for them, we may have to separate them from the crowd.,鈥� she explained.

However, in that case, people would be able to interact with furry friends after the yoga session.
